At meeting of the fire department.
last Thursday evening, committee
of.three was appointed to confer WITH
the village council at its next meet
ing in regard to conaeming the
present pumps and getting new set
of fire apparatus. 1t is something
that is badly needed, and after the
exhibition of Monday night we
should Judge the committee would
have but little trouble in convincing
the council Of that fact.
A writer in the Southern Mercury
SAWS: 1--WE know that more cotton
is more work; more cotton, less edu-
cation; more cotton, more poverty
Farmers must raise less cotton and
more OF the things needed for the
family; these are things beyond the
legislature, but things the farmers
can remedy for themselves" In this
there is certainly food for reflection
for the all-wheat farmers of the
Northwest.

Here is mathematical question
for some one who has more time than
we have to work it out: "Suppose a
man and II girl were married and
which, of course is Impossible, that at
the time of the hymenial contract
the man was 35 years old and the girl
5, which MAKES the man seven times
as old as the girl; they live together
until the girl is 10; this makes the
man forty years old and four times as
old as the girl; they live until she is
fifteen, and the man being 45, this
makes the man three times as old;
they live until she is 80 years old;
this makes the man 80, onl twice as
old. Now how long Will they have
to live to make the girl as old as the
MANI"
About eleven o'clock Monday night
fire was discovered IN the Manitoba
engine house. The alarm was at
once given and the fire department
responded promptly, but as usual the
pumps refused to work. The fire
soon gained Roadway and communi-
Gated to the coal sheds. Here gall
liant fight was made, and by hard
work the fire was confined to the east
end of the sheds. The engine house
and water tank were completely con-
sumed. while the east end of the
aheds is one mass of blazing coal,
which at the present writing, is still
burning. Fortunately there was
little or no wind, so that adjoining
property was in no danger. The loss
to the railway company Is quite
severe.

A great many young men in these
days excuse themselves from attempt

are not rich and have no influential
